Description Stephen Martin 2003-08-29 15:56:55 UTC 
There appears to be a syntax error at line 42 of eutils.eclass.  The line:

cat > ${D}/usr/lib/$1 <<"END_LDSCRIPT"

invalidates everything that comes after it and makes it impossible to call any 
of the other functions.  I believe it the line should be:

echo "END_LDSCRIPT" >> ${D}/usr/lib/$1

which seems to fix the problem.

Forget it, I don't know what I'm talking about.  The problem is I was trying to pass an invalid parameter further down to enewgroup.
